Care provided at Buxton House:

Buxton House has 64 welcoming, fully furnished rooms, each with en-suite WC and shower and a 24-hour call bell, ensuring residents are comfortable, safe and expertly cared for. We give all residents support and peace of mind and we pride ourselves on doing everything possible to enhance residents’ quality of life.

In order to create a homely feel for residents, our Weymouth care home is divided into four wings, each with a spacious lounge/diner and kitchen area. The home has been carefully designed to support residents living with dementia, helping them to socialise and engage with their new home.

Our outdoor courtyard, fish pond and fully-secure landscaped garden create a sense of peace and tranquillity for residents and provide the perfect place to relax with a cup of tea and a slice of cake, or socialise with friends and loved ones. Residents also have full use of our on-site café and hair salon.

We strive to enable residents to continue to do what they love, whether that’s coffee with friends or enjoying activities with visiting loved ones. Nothing is too much trouble for us when it comes to the care and comfort of residents and we always go the extra mile to help residents maintain their lifestyle and independence.

Buxton House is situated in the sunny seaside town of Weymouth, with great local amenities, sandy beaches, a pretty harbour and the spectacular Jurassic Coastline, all of which make this area an amazing place to live and residents can take advantage of day trips to local points of interest.

We understand that looking for a care home can be a difficult and daunting process, but we want you to know that you are not alone. Please feel free to give us a call or fill out an enquiry form and we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have, provide you with support throughout the process, or simply give you a better idea of life at Buxton House.

Buxton House is dedicated to ensuring residents are able to get the most out of every day, whilst feeling safe and supported. For us, it’s all about delivering the three F’s – Food, Fun and Friendship – to help residents to live a happy and fulfilling lifestyle.

Recreational activities are organised by our activities coordinator(s) to ensure residents are having fun and making friends, and range from baking and arts and crafts to visits from entertainers and day trips out to local points of interest and attractions.

No two residents are the same, and we love to learn about their amazing life stories, hobbies and interests. This helps us to build strong relationships with residents and allows us to tailor our activities to suit their likes and favourite pastimes. Residents can be as involved as they wish and the activities team work hard to cater for residents’ recreational needs, enabling them to continue to do the things they love, even if that simply involves sitting down and enjoying a card game or a puzzle.

Please see below for more of the activities that we have been enjoying at Buxton House recently.

“Being a care home Chef is a real pleasure. I feel it’s important to get to know the residents, and understand their likes and preferences when it comes to the menu.” – Nick Wrightson, Buxton House Chef

Given our mission to provide residents with the three F’s – Food, Fun and Friendship – mealtimes are very important to us and residents love coming together to enjoy delicious, nutritious and wholesome meals with their friends.

Our menu is expertly crafted by our talented Chefs, working closely with our Caterings Operations Manager, and is cooked and prepared onsite by our skilled kitchen staff.  We are passionate about providing high-quality food for residents and we cater for all dietary requirements and meal preferences, always maintaining the same high standards when preparing alternative meals. Refreshments are available for residents throughout the day.

We currently hold a food hygiene rating of 5/5 stars (date of inspection: 30/09/2022) and strive to provide delicious and nutritious, high-quality meals for all residents.

Lauren Taylor – Home Manager

“I have worked in the Health and Social Care sector since I was old enough to be employed; whilst continuing to study, develop and achieve the skills and qualifications I have.

I began my career working with Care South as a Care Assistant and progressed to my present role as Home Manager of Buxton House. I initially began my journey at Buxton House and worked across the company in different locations – I am so glad to be back!

Ensuring every day is meaningful for the people we care for is what drives myself and the team Buxton House to give the best possible service.

We aim to support our residents and be involved in the care we provide; to enhance their independence in confidence, knowing we can support them with our person-centred approach.

I am proud and fortunate to be part of a fun, professional and caring team who work above and beyond expectations consistently.”
